――《《End up giving them a strong punch》

◆◆

(POV Kaito)

Well, time really flies, doesn’t it? It’s hard to believe that today marked our first shrine visit of the year already.
It feels like it was just yesterday when we were enjoying the Christmas party, watching year-end shows, and savoring the delicious duck soba.
Has the new year arrived so quickly?

“Kaito! Can I borrow your phone?”

“Yeah, sure.”

As we stood in line at the Sayama Fudoson temple, surrounded by a bustling crowd of people for the New Year’s visit, Chiaki grew bored and asked to borrow my smartphone.
Without hesitation, I handed it over, and soon she was engrossed in tapping away, watching videos with Chifuyu, Chiharu, and Chinatsu.

Now that I think about it, I never actually taught them how to use the smartphone.
Occasionally, when they ask for it, I let them borrow it, but I’ve never taken the time to show them how it works.
However, observing them now, it seems like they’ve become quite proficient with it on their own.

I guess kids naturally have an interest in things and quickly learn.
It would be great if I could integrate this into their studies somehow, or find a psychological method to increase their motivation for learning.

“Cats are cute!” Chiaki said.

“Yes, they are.
Cats are wonderful, aren’t they?” Chinatsu added.

“Yes, they are,” Chiharu said.

“Why are cats so cute, I wonder?” Chifuyu added.

Chiaki, Chinatsu, Chiharu, and Chifuyu exclaimed how adorable cats were while watching videos.
It was indeed a heartwarming sight to see.

“Oh~~, amazing~~! They’re spending so much money,” Chiaki said.

“How much are they really spending?” Chinatsu added.

“That’s crazy,” Chiharu said.

“It really is,” Chifuyu added.

Now they seemed to be watching a gaming channel.
Watching their enthusiastic expressions, I pondered whether I should buy them smartphones.
But what should I do? As far as I’m concerned, maybe when they reach middle school.

But having the ability to make phone calls can be convenient.
Perhaps it’s time to seriously consider buying them smartphones.
However, I don’t want them to become too absorbed in that and neglect their studies…

“Kaito-san, we need to move forward….”

“Right, sorry, Chifuyu.”

While I was lost in thought, I hadn’t realized that the line had moved forward.
Thanks to Chifuyu subtly taking my hand and guiding me, we managed to avoid inconveniencing those around us.

“…”

“…”

Her hand casually grasped mine.
It had become a continued habit to hold hands without any particular reason.
Chifuyu’s hand was indeed small, and it felt slightly cold, perhaps due to the chill in the air.

I couldn’t ask her to let go, and it wasn’t really bothering me, so I didn’t say anything.
I somewhat understood Chifuyu’s feelings, which made it difficult for me to decide what to do.
Maintaining the status quo was the best I could manage.

“Oh my, Fuyu.
You’re holding hands with Kaito-san.
So cute, isn’t it?” Chinatsu remarked.

“Uh… W-Well, it’s cold, do you have a problem with it?” Chifuyu retorted.

“N-No, not at all… There’s no need to be aggressive like that,” Chinatsu responded.

Chifuyu’s face had turned completely red.
I wonder if it was because of the cold.
Her cheeks were beautifully flushed with a deep crimson hue.

“Hmph, I’ll hold hands too,” Chiaki declared.

As if in competition, Chiaki grabbed my right hand while Chifuyu held onto my left.

“Oh, how envious… That’s not fair,” Chiharu said.

“…Here, I’ll hold your hand, so stop glaring at Kaito-san,” Chinatsu said.

“Yeah, if that’s the case, well… that’s fine,” Chiharu said.

Chinatsu held Chiharu’s hand, putting an end to her envious gaze.
The atmosphere turned heartwarming and gentle again.

Both Chiaki’s and Chifuyu’s hands were small and cold.
It’s true what they say, that people with cold hands have warm hearts.
After all, both of them are kind, cute, and considerate.

As we held hands, watched videos together, and passed the time, we finally arrived at the main hall.
There were many people, so we needed to finish our prayers quickly.

“Here, this is for the offering.”

I distributed some coins to everyone and made my own offering as well.
I don’t believe in gods or anything like that, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to make some wishes.

――May the four of them have good health, luck, academic success, and financial fortune.

Alright, that should do it.

“Kaito, I want to draw an omikuji (fortune slip) too!”

“Sure.”

After finishing our prayers, we gathered around the nearby omikuji stand and each put in some money to draw an omikuji (fortune slip).
I didn’t believe in omikuji or fortune-telling, but I thought it was important to enjoy it as a kind of tradition.

“Wow! Kaito, I got great fortune!”

“That’s amazing.
Can I see?”

“Sure!”

Chiaki handed me her fortune slip, and I glanced at its contents.

Love… Your proficiency has reached a certain level.
You have acquired the Love Skill Special Attack.

Academics… Your proficiency has not reached a certain level yet.

Awaited person… Already within your grasp.

Finances… Irrelevant.

Travel… Should go for it.

Lost items… Will be found.

“Oooh, it looks pretty good”

“Yeah, right? As expected, It’s all about your actions in daily life!”

“What about you, Chifuyu?”

“I got great fortune….”

Chifuyu opened her Omikuji (fortune slip) and showed it to me.

Love… Take off the hairband, let down your bangs, and you’ll be unbeatable.

Academics… Nothing to say about it.

Awaited person… You know who it is, right?

Finance… You have talent.

Travel… Go for it.

Lost items… It’s all good.

Is this what the recent Omikujis (fortune slips) are like? It feels like the format has changed a bit from last year… Well, it’s still great fortune, so that’s good, right?

“That’s great.
How about you, Chinatsu?” I asked.

“I got great fortune.”

Chinatsu showed me her Omikuji as well.

Love… Somehow, it’s strong.

Academics… You should study.

Awaited person… It’s always the person you least expect.

Finance… No talent.

Travel… Go for it.

Lost items… They’ll be found for you.

“That’s great.
How about you, Chiharu?”

“I got great fortune.”

Love… The ice has melted, but it’s not blooming yet.

Academics… No issues.

Awaited person… Older.

Finance… Not necessary.

Travel… You’ll be taken along.

Lost items… They will be found.

“Oooh.
It feels pretty good, doesn’t it?”

“Yes.”

I’m not quite sure what makes it good, but since everyone got great fortune, it must be a good sign.
I’ll just keep that thought in mind.

Now, let me take a look at my own Omikuji.
I spread it open and read the characters.

“So, how is it, Kaito-san?” Chifuyu asked.

“How is it? Kaito?”

“Kaito-san, please show me.
“

“Oniisan, how is it?”

“…”

Love… you might just punch yourself in the face.

Academics… Still in the growth stage.

Awaiting Person… No need to say it.

Finance… You have talent.

Travel… You’ll be taken along.

Lost items… Someday, someone will find them.

While it’s great fortune, I’m not sure what to make of this unclear and somewhat advice-like wording.
It’s probably best to take it with a grain of salt and not overthink it.

“Kaito-san, you also got great fortune.
That’s great!” Chifuyu said.

“We all got the same!” Chiaki said.

“Well, it seems like we’ve started off on a good note for this new year,” Chinatsu added.

“Yeah, that’s right.” Chiharu agreed.

Well, whether the content is good or not, since everyone got great fortune, I suppose we should consider it a positive sign.

“Kaito-san, I want to try that crepe over there,” Chinatsu said.

“Me too, me too!” Chiaki added.

After drawing our fortune slips and learning the results, it seemed like the girls’ interest shifted toward the food stalls.
Chinatsu and Chiaki pointed their fingers and their eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Alright, shall we go?”

‘”Oooooh!””

“Eating from the start of the new year…” Chifuyu muttered

“My sisters are cute from the start of the new year.” Chiharu added.

Leaving the main hall behind, we walked towards the food stalls.

***********************

TN: It’s very interesting that Kaito said that whoever steals the girls’ hearts he may just punch them in the face, and then the fortune slip tells him, you may punch yourself in the face lol.
